More MHOs, Still Not Enough Hours | Glasgow News
Description
Scotland’s mental health officer shortage persists despite adding more positions—now 788, the highest since 2005—but 21 local areas still face a weekly shortfall of nearly 2,000 hours, equivalent to about 54 full-time officers. While staffing and hours have risen significantly since 2021, gaps remain wide in places like South Lanarkshire, while cities such as Glasgow and Aberdeen now report no shortfall at all. The deficit is shrinking slightly from last year’s 2,400-hour gap, but coverage remains critically uneven across the country.
